Nobody knows anything about its eating habits. There are some photos of the animal taken by different people visiting the lake, but nobody can prove that they are real. This animal, given the nickname Nessie, has been one of the greatest tourist attractions to the area for years. Expeditions sent to Scotland tried very hard to find and catch Nessie.
